All sea food must be continuous and we believe that we must continue to supply it to the world. The fisheries industry is said to be a declining industry in Japan. However, it is a growing industry overseas. We think the two factors hindering growth are unstable supply and a decrease in consumption.
We conduct our business with the aspiration of realizing the growing industry of fisheries in Japan by going ahead with sustainable aquaculture such as ASC and promoting sales in the expanding Asian market.

Leveraging technology cultivated through aquaculture operations at our Danish subsidiary, we launched Japan's first large-scale edible salmon farm in Aomori Prefecture in 2015. Since then, while expanding annual production volumes to meet vigrous demand for Japanese-style sushi in Asia, we have prioritized quality improvements focused on the salmon's most appealing trait—its flesh color—earning high praise from customers both domestically and internationally. By growing our salmon farming business into an industry, we will create numerous jobs and contribute to revitalizing local communities.

We have succeeded in transferring the quality control and production know-how for safety and security that we have cultivated over 50 years in the domestic seafood processing business since our founding to our partner plant in Vietnam and our own plant in Myanmar. We are able to meet the high demands of our customers with the teamwork of our Japanese managers and local employees. In addition, we have been able to achieve the same high level of service in our overseas wholesale business in Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan. We support the success of our customers who are expanding from Japan by replicating the Japanese quality of our services and products.

At the Okamura Foods Group, we believe our value lies in contributing to the continued prosperity of our customers, local communities, and the nature that is the foundation of our production while remaining humble and grateful to our customers and communities. The fisheries industry is said to be a declining industry in Japan and a growing industry overseas, but we work hard every day with the great ambition of making the fisheries industry a growing industry through a sustainable business model.
